Two Gadsden men were arrested on felony charges for allegedly firing a gun into an occupied home, according to a news release from the Gadsden Police Department.

Marquis Cotton, 24, and Nyheim Toney, 20, were taken into custody Monday for their alleged roles in an incident that took place Nov. 17.

A 46-year-old woman told police she was playing cards with friends outside her residence on the 1000 block of Fourth Avenue when she heard eight gunshots. When she went outside to investigate, she found bullet holes in the front and side of her house.

Cotton and Toney are being held without bond at the Etowah County Detention Center.
